Bottle Market 2019

TASTE THE SPIRIT

Whatever you prefer – join us for a journey of great tastes!

Use your visit to the BOTTLE MARKET to go for a walk around the city centre of Bremen. The Hanseatic city has always had a strong connection to the international wine and spirit trade. The town hall in the heart of the city has been declared a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO and its cellar holds Germany’s biggest wine collection. Aside from spirits and wine, Bremen is also well-known for its beer and the Beck & Co brewery.

The gin area will accommodate about 20 producers and importers.
